I am going to finish my first ever quilt, a Harley quilt!
Thank you for the opportunity for the give away!
I'm going to make a Wonky Canasta Quilt from Elizabeth Hartman's pattern. I've been collecting the fabric for about 10 months now, and finally have all the pieces I need. I am so excited to make this quilt!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I am going to make this: http://www.modabakeshop.com/2010/09/meandering-path-quilt.html#more From the moda bake shop, using Sugar Pop for the fabric. I'm making it for my friend, Karol, who has babysat for me for many, many years, and never once accepted payment for it. (And I'm talking full time babysitting while I worked!) I'm not that great at sewing, I'm still rather new at this, but I'm excited about this quilt. Most of my projects in the past have been simply sewing charm packs together. (This is essentially the same thing, I guess, just with rectangles! LoL) Did I mention that I'm excited? LoL jody.edwards@yahoo.com
The FIRST thing I am going to sew....you are kidding LOL I have made a looooong list on my blog what my focus projects are going to be. It would have been fun to have this calendar in my sewingroom :)
Happy new year to you!!
I'm going to finishing sewing my 'star light star bright quilt' then work on my swap postcards for the month of January.
I'm going to make a baby quilt. Great giveaway! Please count me in!
In 2011 I will start with finishing my Civil War Diary Quilt. The top was done in 2009. I had a retreat from the quilt in 2010, so it is finishing time in 2011.
Have a great new years eve and a very healthy, happy and creative 2011.

I'm going to make a bag from Lisa Lam's new book
I am going to finish an UFO - a hidden ninepatch quilt.
Thanks for this great giveaway! Please count me in.
I think I'm going to start a charm square quilt. But then again, I've gotten a bunch of fabric and a few quilt books for Christmas so I've got a bunch of ideas floating around in my head right now!
The list is long but I must first complete a mini quilt and continue working on a Sampler ...
Thanks for sharing!
I'm going to make a baby quilt in browns/beiges...new grandchild due in February!
I need to work on a baby quilt that is long overdue. Thanks for the chance at the give-away. Sarah
I'm planning on finishing a fence rail quilt, overdue for quite a few years...LOL...for sure, a New Year's resolution for 2011!
Nice calendar! Count me in please.
Hi, I am going to be playing around mixing foil with fabric. Not sure what the final outcome will be. I really need to step up to a brown bag challenge that I have had the fabric for months...deadline isn't until March, so I've put it on the back burner.
Not counting the several projects I have going right now, the first thing I plan to sew is a set of placemats. An online friend sent me two rolls of selvages, and I am going to make the placemats with one of them.
I'm going to sew a set of miniature blocks.
I am going to make some "Quilts of Love"
What a great giveaway thank you.
I'm going to make a zigzag quilt. I can't believe I started a new quilt with all the ufos still unfinished. Thanks for a chance to win.
I suppose that doing my grown daughter's mending doesn't count! I've made four blocks of my own version of the selvage "Zinger," so I'm going to make twelve more and finish it up.
Well I need to keep working on a sampler quilt, and a country style wall hanging. But I have also signed up for two group projects...a Baltimore quilt (it will be my first one)and also a basket made with japanese style appliqué. The calendar will help me get a bit organized!!! Count me in for the giveaway, please!!!
The first thing I'm going to sew is the binding for my aunt's quilt! Thanks so much for the chance, Karen!
I'm going to finish my Anita's Arrowheads quilt! I'm just loving the piecing of this and want it finished Now! lol
I am going to finish a ruby red dots project for a March quilt show.
There's hope, I just need to add borders (3).
I need to finish my Granddaughters quilt ASAP... then I need to get three other quilts off my design walls....OK it's actually 4 and a 4 quilts to quilt... sigh.
First on the new year's quilt list is to make a goldfish/ocean wave quilt using blocks made by my wonderful bee buddies (Bee-Stitched) and some of my own.
As soon as I finish two customer quilts and I get time to do something for myself I think I will start on a selvage spiderweb. I have saved a ton of selvages and only used them for some small projects up to now.
Michele
My first 2011 project is a wall hanging for my sister... her birthday is on the 27th!
I just atarted working on somethign for me....so I am going to keep working on it. I have yet to make a quilt for ME, well other than my first one, but that's turned into the guest quilt. (it fits perfectly on the hide-a-bed)
I will be making a string quilt also, but that is second on my list. I have a couple of Valentine table runners and Mug Rugs to make first.
I am working on the current Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt called Roll, Roll, Cotton Boll. The 7th of 8 clues will be coming out on New Year's Eve, so I'll be working on that step and finishing up any previous steps I haven't finished. I got way behind getting ready for Christmas. If I get caught up with that, I have a funky Christmas tree quilt I want to start for next Christmas!
I love these calendars - I buy one for myself every year! Not only do they help me to stay organized (I need all the help I can get) but the pictures of the quilts are a great inspiration for future projects!
My first project will be an eye spy game for my grandson. I've been collecting little trinkets to put in the flannel square...just need to find my clear vinyl for the window....:P
The absolutely very first thing I'm going to do is finish knitting a scarf for my daughter (she is asking for it!!), and then I can concentrate on starting a new quilt for me--a 30 Stars for 30 Years quilt. Our 30th anniv was in August, and the pattern was purchased this summer, fabric purchased on sale in late fall.... So I'd love to see this quilt hanging on the wall first thing in the new year. Thanks for the giveaway!
The first new one I'll start is a BOM I'm doing with my fave SIL. And I'll continue to work on finishing the hand quilting on my Grandmother's Flower Garden and also the Piece 'O Cake applique blocks (8 blocks finished, 8 more to go plus the border).
I hope to start "Diagonal Madness" a quilt from Kaffe Fassett's book (can't remember which book). I will be making mine a bit smaller than the book's.
Then there is the mountain of UFO's I really SHOULD finish!
Thanks Karen for the chance to win a calendar.
P.S. you shoot on over to my new tutorial blog and see what you can make with your OLD calendars. http://www.patchouli-moon-studio-tutorials.blogspot.com
I would love that calendar! The first thing I am going to work on is several flannel quilts, to get my flannel stash down to a reasonable amount.
What a great calendar. I have a great project for the new year - a baby quilt for a grandbaby due in a couple of weeks.
I am going to start a mystery Quilt that I have things cut out for. I will have a 3 day weekend to get it started! YEAH!
I'm going to finish a quilt top that I started quite a few months ago. It's a nine patch and it's turning out really very nice. Had to put it aside because of the Christmas sewing. Really don't like to leave things undone, so it will be great to get it done!
Finishing a Garden Nouveau machine embroidered quilt is my last goal of this year and my first goal of 2010. Check my blog to see some of the blocks. Beautiful!

This is my "big" project for 2010 - hopefully will get the center done in January! http://www.batiksplus.com/SuperStore/SuperStore-Product.asp?ProductID=4017
Cabin Friends, by Primitive Gatherings. It is small, but cute. Looks like I could get it done in January.
I'm going to put together a quilt for my sister-in-law. She cut out the feather/fan pieces with her mother ago. She/they proceeded to to sew together 1 block. She then told her mother she wasn't going to finish...that way her mother would be with her forever, so they could finish it.
Well, her mother died several years ago. My 'sneaky' niece brought me the pieces last summer. Even though the fabric is not-so-nice to work with, I want to make it up for her. When completed, I'll machine embroider a patch for the back with both of their names, and mine. I know when I deliver the couch-sized quilt, there will be many tears!!
Gosh I really love the calendar..., well I'm hoping I'll finish to quilt and bind one of my UFO's, it's a big size quilt for my bed :P
I'm going to finish my Fat Quarterly Quilt along jelly roll quilt. This agenda looks like just what I need to keep on track!
I'll be continuing making my double hourglass blocks. Not sure if they will end up being a wall hanging or lap quilt. Happy New Year!
I am going to make the two half blocks I need to be able to finish the little beautiful SAL quilt from Cheryl. Afterwards I have a loooong list of WIPS and projects I would like to get started.
I would love to be the lucky winner of the calendar - just like the rest of the quilters here ;-).
Thank you for this give away.
Looks like a great calendar Karen!! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. I have so many quilt ideas swirling around in my head, but the first thing I'm going to do in the new year is get back to making quilts for AAQI.
Beautiful calendar!
I plan on finishing a Boxy Star from Bonnie Hunter's site then onto more UFO's.
I'm going to start a quilt for my niece.. a college graduation gift. It will be a surprise.
I'm going to finish a red and white snowman quilt I started 2 years ago!!
I'm making a bag, using selvage squares and some great fabric I got in a Boxing day sale (quilting fabric was half price) :-)
Right now I'm in the mood to create a couple of dolls, so that'll be my first projects for the first of the year.
The I'm going to tackle UFOs. :^0
Hugs,
Gerry
My first project in the new year will be to finish a Christmas tree skirt that didn`t get done for this year!
Hugs,

The first thing I'm going to sew is a couple of mug rugs, Christmas presents for friends that I didn't get done. So they will receive them in January.
i'm working on a table runner which i'm sure will bleed over into the new year. So that's my first thing! Plus I've been saving all my selvages, slowly but surely, so I may make something small like a pincushion.
A "secret" Challenge quilt entry.
The calendar looks wonderful......full of inspiration no doubt!!!
I`m going to finally start the Fat Quarterly jelly roll quilt-along! I think technically it`s over, but I have a great jelly roll and coordinating fabric. Thank you for the giveaway!
I am going to finish my WIP and not let it become a UFO. I'm handquilting my first tumbler quilt - about 1/2 done and then binding time. Thank you for the chance to enter this lovely giveaway. Just today was looking at home for a 2011 calendar and didn't find one.
I am going to finish my Star Crazy quilt, a BOM from www.thequiltshow.com. I only have the blocks from December and assembly to go!
I am going to do a Scavenger Art Quilt at Road to Ca...I need to sew an iron cozy for my new petite press iron..but might get to that tomorrow..just under the wire for the old year!
The calendar looks really interesting...
I'm going to finish a baby quilt for my nephew and his wife. She's due one week from today so I had better get a move on!
After I finish two quilts, I'm making some SMALL things: potholders, knitting needle roll, ipod cozy. Then it's back to learning more quilting skills.
I'm going to have a new grandbaby around Jan. 13th so I'll be making him or her a new cozy baby quilt. I will be consulting the Mommy about what style.
Love your blog!
Jody
The first thing I'm going to sew are reuseable shopping bags made with fabrics from my stash.
I've got a cute little jumper all cut out for my grand daughter and want to get it put together. I'd love the calendar!
My 2 flimsy Quilts for Kids are going on my frame to be quilted so I can get those mailed off. Love to do those kits.
I'LL START A CHRISTMAS TREE SKIRT FOR MY DAUGHTER FOR NEXT CHRISTMAS-I LIKE TO WORK AHEAD-HA!

finsih the quilts for chritmas for my boys -
I am going to sew a center block for my Sisters Round Robin. Then make some tablerunners to practice machine quilting.
I am going to make and donate a quilt for our local foster care program. It will go to a teen aged boy who is too old to remain in foster care and is going out into the world and beginning a new life on his own. Making a gift that will be well received by a boy, especially a teen, is a New Year's challenge all on its own...but I'm taking it and will fill that quilt with all the love I can create!
I am going to work on my mom's quilt that she started in 1982. It is a sampler and it's lovely. I am going to hand quilt it! I would love to be part of the giveaway! Happy New Year Karen! Steph
I'm going to make a birthday quilt for our grandson who will be eight.
Thanks for the chance to win.
I am going to make a selvage quilt for my guild's quilt show in September.
I'll be finishing up the quilting on a Scenic View quilt. So glad you're back with selvage inspirations.
This New Year's weekend I'm going to finish an owl baby quilt (overdue, but those owls were really hard to piece!) and start a surprise quilt for a friend who gifted me some feather fabric that she loves but concluded she was never going to use (she doesn't even sew, but loves fabric so much she buys it anyway... I admire her dedication to Fiber).
I have a quilting retreat next weekend and I am going to make a bag with clothesline and batik fabric!
Thanks for the giveaway.
My first sewing in 2011 will be a winter table runner for my MIL to put on her kitchen table in her senior living apartment. Happy New Year!
I've had fabric to make a quilt for our family room for over a year now. I think I'd better get started on that.
I am going to Make the Civil War Bridal Quilt. Just started the first 2 blocks
